LG Washer Water Inlet Valve Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your LG washer isn't filling with water, fills too slowly, or keeps filling when it should stop, the water inlet valve is usually the culprit. This 5221EA1009C valve assembly replaces OEM part 5221EA1009R and fits front-load and combo washer models from the F-series, WD-series, and newer FH-series machines. This hub covers compatible LG models and what you need to know before ordering.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The 5221EA1009C water inlet valve works with 15+ LG washer models, including popular front-loaders like the F1103RDP, WM3499HVA, and WD-series combo units. Your model number is typically on a sticker inside the door frame or on the back panel near the fill hoses. Double-check your existing valve — it should have "5221EA1009" stamped on the valve body. If you see that, you're good to go.

About This Replacement Part

The water inlet valve controls water flow into your washer drum using electric solenoids that open and close based on signals from the control board. When a valve fails, you'll notice obvious symptoms — the machine won't fill at all, water trickles in instead of flowing, or it overfills and floods. These valves fail because sediment from hard water clogs the screens, or the solenoids burn out from electrical stress. The 5221EA1009C is a direct-fit replacement that includes mounting brackets and connects to your existing water supply hoses with standard 3/4-inch fittings. It's the same USEONG-ECO IV-15S-3 valve LG installs at the factory.

What You'll Need for Installation

Replacing a water inlet valve isn't complicated, but you'll need to shut off the water supply and disconnect the fill hoses. Have a bucket handy because residual water will drain out when you remove the old valve. You'll access the valve from the back panel on most models — two screws hold it in place, and electrical connectors just pull off. The whole job takes about 20 minutes if you've got basic hand tools.
